From BARTENDER to CATHOLIC PRIEST | the Story of Fr. Frankie Cicero - Part 3

[@TheSoojinjun]

Thank you so much for sharing your story, Father Frankie! I watched all 3 videos with kids I teach in CCD class. We were talking about goods and bad they felt about their lives. Then I showed your videos. The room went silent and they kept wanting to watch later parts after the first one. I first encountered your story in Hallow. What a remarkable life you are living! Thank you for following your calling and being the light in the world. God bless! ❤🙏✨

[@Liftedtrucks909]

Father Frankie is the real deal. I moved to AZ in 2021 and really needed leadership (it was a strange feeling I just wanted to have a chain of command in my life so to speak.) I would up in a Catholic Church and remmeber clining to every word of Father Frankie's homily. I had never been to Church before and actually NEEDED Jesus. I think for the most part for me it was a maturity thing. I had been to church my whole life but that day I was really in need of God for the first time as a adult just moving out my parents house for the first time. Father Frankie after mass introduced himself and who he was and asked me all about my life and asked me how I was doing. Father Frankie gives everything he does 110% and is one of the five most influential people I have met in my life. He really cared for my life and my relationship with Jesus. Thank you Father Frankie for everything you do for God and his Church!!!

Grateful to have met you! I pray you are doing well. Blessings.

Thanks for your Faith! Greetings from Ukraine ❤

[@gabbyavila3437]

That’s such a beautiful testimony father! After more than 15 yrs I finally came home to our Father and I’m also falling more in love with him everyday. I’m just trying to discern how he wants me to serve him so I ask if you can please pray for me. Thank you so much

[@nopenope1244]

Thank you Father Frankie. I’m a man new to the Catholic faith (26) and have been needing a message and channel like this. I was an atheist all my life until recently , so it has been a weird, tough but rewarding journey this year. Please keep making videos, there’s men out there like me that need guidance. God bless.

[@FrFrankieCicero]

Amen brotha! Blessings to you!! Welcome home, it’s so good that you are here! It’s been on my heart to create a channel for men like you.. the Lord is with you, He is worth it! I promise I will! One video a week!! Please pray for me and know of my prayers for you! 🙏🙏🙏

[@nopenope1244]

@@FrFrankieCicero Thank you! I will pray for you 🙏 I don’t know if I am praying the correct way (maybe a good video topic haha) but I will give it my best shot.

[@sofiafalter5137]

@@nopenope1244 There's no right or wrong way to pray. It is simply a conversation with your friend, the Lord. Praying for you!

[@dannyap]

I heard your story on Hallow. It was wonderful to come and hear it in detail. I had my own experience and yours just strengthen mine. Thank you and God bless.

[@janmichaelasus]

Already a follower of God in his beautiful Catholic Church, yet he continues to amaze me. Your testimony touches my heart and gives me more strength to continue following Him and Listening to his beautiful powerful voice. Grateful for this time in the church and whatever is to come 🙏🏼

Wow! Thank you for emptying yourself. Thank you for answering the call. Thank you for sharing.

[@kathleenmoncla5763]

Hi, Father Frankie. What a beautiful testimony. I will share it with our young adult children! My family & I have been to Chandler, Arizona, which I thought was so cool. Also, I think you knew a friend of mine. His name was Michael Glenn when we went to college together. I was thinking about him this month, just knowing he is praying for us‼️⛪🍞🍷🎁

[@TuanAnhTPBQ]

Praise the Lord for making priests like you, Fr. Frankie, to shepherd His flock. May He always give you strength in your moments of being alone.

[@apollo13103]

God bless you, Fr. Frankie! You are an inspiration. I thank God for creating you and thank you for giving your life to Jesus Christ. You will bear much fruit by your testimony and love for Triune God. ❤🙏🙏

[@tiffanyboyce7755]

I was so sick and depressed before I started following you on Hallow. I am not Catholic but I have a friend, who is Catholic. I told her when you pray I feel the Holy Spirit descend and it is a wonderful feeling. I must admit sometimes I am frightened of the Holy Spirit because I feel its power; however, the Holy Spirit comforts me in a way. I know it is guiding and healing me. Thank you Father Frankie for calling the Holy Spirit for me.

God bless you Tiffany

[@suzanankoyan2469]

Dear Father Frankie, please talk to us more. Father, I was to have two surgeries this month. One was today. This morning, scared, I woke up early. It's not the surgery, but my condition I have and the pain I experience. I went to Hollow app, like I normally do. Today it was Lent Pray 40. They talked about your story. Something clicked and I went on KZbin, searched your name and listened to your interview. I cried. My surgery went OK so far. In bed resting. The surgery is small, but the infection, and the healing process is complicated and challenging. Your story, when I listened carefully, twice, I received a Gift of Listening, which I did not have before. Before I went to surgery, I prayed to Lord Jesus to and like you did Father, I too gave my morning sufferings to Lord Jesus and left it at the Foot of His Cross. I cried before the surgery. It was painful. The shots were excruciating. But I made it Father. All the Glory to our Lord Jesus who Loved us, all, first. Your story had a meaning in my life, at this point. I have one more surgery two weeks from today. It will be painful, but I learned from you Father to give my pain and sufferings to Lord Jesus Christ for the souls in need of prayers, Amen. Please pray for all of us and give us your info and the Church you have your mass, perhaps one day, we can visit you and pray with you, in The Beautiful and Majestic Name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. Father please pray for us.

[@susygarcia1537]

[@inchristalone7860]

Ohhhhh Father what a testimony!!!!! While hearing your story, the parables of the Prodigal Son and Jesus looking for the lost sheep kept coming to mind. Our Blessed Lord is relentless…….oh YES HE IS. He never ever gives up on us even in the utter depths of our sinfulness and shame……..we are so unworthy….yet He gently lifts us up from the depths of sin and helps us find the most fulfilling and satisfying love and peace in His embrace. Thank you Lord Jesus for your sacrifice on the Cross and for forgiving me of all my sins. I LOVE YOU MY LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST.

So, so, so grateful for you Father! I'm so glad the Lord allowed us to meet and it all started with me praying for you when I was student teaching in the Spring of 2018 because your name was on the white board in the classroom I was in. And then a few months after finishing, I was blessed to see you become fully the Lord's at your ordination. Know of my continued prayers for you! I can't wait to see what else the Lord will do in your life.

[@judithmontano759]

Thank ! Do Father Frankie for sharing your story and your walk with God the Father. I was wondering if you can speak about Abuse in a marriage. What dose God the Father Expect of a man And a woman who married through the churc how is the man supposed to treat the wife and the wife treat the husband. I can only speak of my experiences that have happened though myself.Why ! Do men cheat! Why do they hit. Why do they Terrorize Beat a woman down and make her feel worthless.

[@inchristalone7860]

Because they are in the clutches of satan, dear Judith most beloved child of our loving Father. Please read the Passion of our Lord Jesus. The suffering, pain and utter torment He went through for absolutely no fault of His own and yet He did not utter a single word against His tormentors but rather pleaded for their forgiveness. Place your sufferings dear Judith at the feet of Jesus on the Cross. Ask for strength to withstand the abuse and pray for your husbands forgiveness and mercy. Believe me, that will go a long way to changing his behavior. Ask our Blessed Mother to assist you. I will be praying for you beloved Judith, child of God.

[@meganrickards7902]

Ok, I wanted to hug you in part 1 of this and now in part 3 I want to squeeze you with love for your strength of confession. I doubt you will see this, but that’s what I need to work on, how to confess my heavier sins and not worrying that God, that Jesus will reject me. Also I like how after your confession, you just kept going back to The Lord and bugging Him like a kid to a parent (since that is what you are, His child and He your Father), until you got your answer. Seems like something I would and likely should do. I have time so why not spend it in prayer bugging Him until He answers and helps me with my life? As for talking about seeing the poster for becoming a priest, if ANYONE says God doesn’t have a WICKED sense of humor, I will GLADLY show them otherwise. If God isn’t the world’s ever merciful jokester person to have ever lived, then I don’t know what he is. I’d also like to say that He knows how to shut down any self doubt argument FAST. The amount of times I’ve been doubting/arguing with myself, only to look to Him then be left mentally gapping like a fish. Just because He has a point doesn’t mean I can’t sarcastically grumble about it.

Hey Fr. Frankie! I've been following you and your social media now for a while. I have your app. life starts here. I think what you're doing is an amazing service to God. I listen to your app pretty constantly to the prayers and to the homilies that you have on there because they've helped me through some tough times in my life. I'm still struggling with some things but hearing you and hearing your story how God is merciful and how you forgives makes me feel better and makes me feel that there's hope
